Forté Posted March 8, 2015 Author Share Posted March 8, 2015 Yeah it just seems more practical to have a Buckler with a pistol Even with the two handed sword/spear weapon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Castigator Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 He's obviously highly skilled and can use the weapon one handed I'm amazed how a head swap really improves the miniature, I've never been that keen on that particular model but changing the head and the weapons really wins me over, nice work.

Forté Posted March 8, 2015 Author Share Posted March 8, 2015 Cheers. The original look I don't mind but the axe and head just don't fit Slaanesh for me. As for his weapon. Stabbing would be possible one handed like a spear or he can use it two handed like a katana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sith’ari Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Another vote for option A from me! I really like the placement of the tassel and I'd definately miss it if it was gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RolandTHTG Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Definitely option A. B looks a little too cluttered in his left hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forté Posted March 8, 2015 Author Share Posted March 8, 2015 It's looking like A has it so far. Here's the other thing I'm wondering about. Couple of head options. Do I go for: Keep huge horn on the head Remove the horn from the head and add a few more of the tentacles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilofix Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Er, can we keep the horn AND add more tentacles? Maybe have the tentacles stream behind him so it looks like he's running, since he's already angled forwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RolandTHTG Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Definitely keep the Horn. It lends a very nice asymetry to the model, as the horn is on the same side as the spear. Where would you be adding the tentacles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where would you be adding the tentacles? Would be in the place the horn is to try and carry on the look the rest of the head has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lagrath Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 I like B since I though the dagger there made him look much better but I guess I am alone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lagrath Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 I think I just like the idea of Slaanesh stuff having lots of knives and daggers everywhere. Graceful, sharp, dangerous motifs and all that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augustus b'Raass Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 I don;t care if it's glued already. ;) I'm all for option B too. To me the direction the tassel is weaving doesn't seem to be in sync with his movement and the shield looks more brutal turned around. Concerning the head: keep it as is - or possible do kilofix's suggestion and add tentacles. But definitely keep the horn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forté Posted March 9, 2015 Author Share Posted March 9, 2015 I don't care if it's glued already. ;) I should have been more specific. It's glued with poly cement and a grip has been added on too. Point taken on the tassel though. It may vanish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augustus b'Raass Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Haha well poly cement basically makes it an immovable object, so point taken on that. ;) I was thinking: perhaps if you cut it off and turn it counter clockwise 90 degrees (seen from above) it might work. Also, on second thought this is a Slaaneshi model - perhaps I envisioned the shield turned 90 degrees clockwise a little too brutal and this is a better pose for him. All in all I'm already looking forward to what will most assuredly be another splendid Forte mini. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaanbull Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Seems like my post was eaten some time ago, I 'voted' for option A as well, so it is fine that you glued it. ;) looking forward to seeing more, I'm unsure on how I should paint mine up, contemplating facepaint fight now.

Forté Posted March 9, 2015 Author Share Posted March 9, 2015 Cheers Slaanbull. Look forward to seeing yours too if it's to fit with your warband. Glad to hear Brother Arkley. And I know what you mean about Tzen's stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaeron Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Fun fact: because I was one of the few people willing to stay up late for Jeremy's late-night design sessions on the Plague Angel and Maggot Daemon, I was able to have a large say on several of the final products, such as the look of the heads for both models. In fact, the Maggot Daemon's plague-marine style Flail Censer/Lantern was my idea! It will be so cool to own a beautiful model that I helped in small part to shape. I've just seen the Plague Angel sculpt and went to triple check I ordered it... delight. I can't wait to see what you and Forte do with these monsters when they come in. They're going to look absolutely glorious. It'll be a race to see who can finish the model for Daemon Forge too :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
